Subject: problem with using variable
Date: Jul 18 2003 4:38PM

Guru's,

Can some one on the list help me find the problem with the code below. I'm
not able to connect to the server using the below code. The problem is with
the $pwd variable. If I hard code the password in here, everything works
fine. What am I missing??


#!c:/perl/bin/perl.exe
use strict;
use DBA_Lib::DBConnect;
use DBA_Lib::SendMsg;
use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
use Sybase::CTlib;

my $oExcel = new Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
my (@fl , $usrfname , $usrdbid , $data , $mmsg_syb , $pwd , $mmsg_ora );

if ( ! open( PW , 'c:\tmp\dbpass_nj2') ) { die "Error : $!\n" ; } ## get the
password for dbuser
@fl= ; ## get the password for dbuser

foreach $pwd ( @fl )
{
   chomp($pwd); ## Remove new line characters at the end.
   print "$pwd \n";
}

my $dbh=Sybase::CTlib->ct_connect("DBUSER","$pwd","SYB_NJ2");
if ( ! defined($dbh) )
{
   print "Can't connect to server !! exiting.. \n";
   exit(1);
}
